I was fed up with training so hard in the gym and not being able to remove stubborn fat. I was also disappointed in the fact that I trained my flutes three times a week (squats and various other exercises) and still had nothing to show for it. I eat a very clean diet and simply decided it was time. I highly recommend Dr. B!

You look great! I follow him on IG & is interested in the same thing. How was the WHOLE experience overall?

& how was the pain? Drains? How long did you stay in the city? Did he do your massages? & why didn't you stay @ the hotel he suggests? the other one was nicer?

Hi Starketa! The experience overall was very straight forward and to the point. I sought out the best cosmetic surgeon to give me the booty I have dreamed of, one who understood my vision while all the while having the ability to incorporate his best judgment as a physician and I found ALL of that and some in Dr. Balgobin!! He is truly and I mean truly a phenomenal doctor and person in general! I have a very high tolerance for pain. I did not take one pain pill. I got walked all the time even got up every couple of hours throughout the night specifically to walk. I drank tons of water and ate extremely healthy NO salt!! I did not do massages although I have heard they help-ask him for more info on that. I stayed at the Marriott at the Mall of America because my husband was with me and it was the perfect place to force me to walk!! Lol! I loved my experience, love Dr. B, and I highly recommend him and would recommend him to my family and friends as well! Wishing you all the best!

My follow up went well. I'm feeling good and moving around great. I have had very little to no drainage and everything is smoothing out well. Can't wait for my next follow up on Saturday!

Are there any good suggestions for hotels nearby?

My hubby came with me and we are staying at the JW Marriott at the mall of America! I couldn't have asked for a better set up! We have access to the mall until 11pm every night it's great (only food access stores are closed). The hotel Dr. Balgobin has arrangements with is the best western.

Hi! Thank you so much! Yes, my tummy looks amazing as well! I will give it a few more days to let some more swelling go down then post a pic at that time. It will give you a better idea of my new shape. Thanks again!

Is that you on IG now? Ok sounds good. I asked about the lymphatic massages but they don't offer them. I have found a lady that does them close to where I live. When I get home I will go.

Where did you purchase that garment? What was your weight prior to surgery & how much did you gain to obtain those results?
